It was great to attend @FMNProject at the St Brides Centre - I heard and saw first hand about the work they do using music to build an inclusive community of "warmth, openness and understanding".
We are a project that is built upon dementia-friendly values, and is open to all - it really is positive and inspiring.
Come and join us on 13th August at our Showcase: a chance to see and hear about our work … and stay for a ceilidh! #dementia #community
Could YOU be one of our new volunteers visiting people living with #dementia on a 1:1 basis, sharing #music and stories? Training planned for 11th & 18th March. Find more information here: volunteeredinburgh.org.uk/vo…

'It’s important to create an environment that includes, rather than excludes. Inclusion can be an overused word. For me, it’s about being interested in each other' - Paul from @FMNProject speaking at the #ScotDementiaFest

Fantastic session from @FMNProject about what music means to us as individuals and how music can bring us together to create a community. How community can raise us up, bring us together and help us communicate on an emotional level. 🎶💚 #ScotDementiaFest
Wonderful to be joining #ScotDementiaFest today to add a @FMNProject flavour to the morning!
Happy #MakeMusicDay! We’ll be at Leith Library to celebrate, today at 2.30pm. All are welcome #music #dementia #community

Such a privilege being back at @captheatres for Together in Song
We’re back with @FMNProject for Together in Song, our monthly dementia friendly concert @captheatres. We’re two songs in and I’m already teary. There’s something so moving about this group of people singing together, it gets me every single time.
